Distributive justice remains a central issue in contemporary
welfare states, even more during times of economic
hardship and social uncertainty. In this article, we analyze
how attitudes toward the principles of normative distributive
justice (equality, need, equity, and entitlement) are related
to support for the redistribution of resources (Study
2) and attitudes toward social protection policies (Studies
1 and 3). In Study 1 (N = 325), we found that equality and
need positively predicted attitudes toward social protection
policies while equity and entitlement negatively predicted
these attitudes. In Study 2 (N = 49,519), using data
from Round 9 of the European Social Survey, we replicated
this linking normative orientation toward different
distributive justice principles with support for redistribution.
We replicated these results in Study 3 (N = 494). In
addition, we explored the role of attributions for poverty
in the relationship found in Studies 1 and 2. Attributions
for poverty mediated the relationship between orientations
toward justice principles and attitudes toward social
protection policies
